Altar Society

The St. Luke Altar Society was organized in 1996. Its members minister to the community by enhancing the environment for our worship. This ministry promotes Christian Living and Service in St. Luke Parish, as well as to foster the spiritual development of its members. Responsibilities include caring for the altar, altar linens and vestments, decorating the church according to liturgical season, and helping to maintain the beauty of our sanctuary.
